ninety m. of the russian capital you're watching are furious crowds attacking american embassies across the islamic world are refusing to scale down the protests which continue to claim lives angry over a u.s. may still mocking the demonstrators are now targeting any american or western establishment or mission and egyptian one person has been killed in clashes with police who are trying to hold off the protesters are reports from cairo. the violence is spreading across the region and becoming increasingly intensified in various countries in june as protesters sic fire a civilian and their commander said we've also been hearing reports that they set fire to an american school according to eyewitnesses at the embassy there will exchanges of gunfire we also know that protesters were holding up the al qaida flag

not some of the type of scenes were playing out in sudan where we know that several thousand protesters there also stormed the american embassy and now they climbed over into the water at the same time there was some of the scenes being played out in front of the british and german embassies but we are hearing that all the diplomatic staff was evacuated to safety the all clear and on the least one person who has been introduced to the people who have been injured in little known and this is where a k.f.c. restaurant in the northern city of tripoli was saved ablaze and they too were hearing reports of clashes between protesters and police in yemen here we are hearing that the police fired tear gas and live rounds on a crowd that was trying to storm the american embassy a day earlier the protesters reached for the much of it security barrier they managed to push through that barrier and the united states is saying we need to try and beef up its

a truce with poisons there here in egypt the situation is as fluid as ever i've spent hours trying to make my way for the college on the streets on the one hand you have very angry frustrated mostly young protesters hurling concrete slabs of pavement and at the same time throwing bricks and stones and pieces of glass at the security police behind me the security police have cordoned off all the streets surrounding the american embassy here in cairo and it took me literally civil law was to make my way through just three or four streets it's very dangerous because you have these flying pieces of mace hold coming at you from all directions the police until you have been firing tear gas to. yes it's particularly strong seen a number of people carried away laps in front of me a few hailing the tear gas we're also hearing reports coming from the more than a sign of that and all linked militant group has attacked a multinational peacekeeping force there now we understand that at least four

peacekeepers which according to military sources they were about sixty to seventy gunmen nor an attack on these military keepers so the sinai peninsula which for some time is really been unstable is the timing increasingly so. you're in cairo so stay up to date so was all the latest developments there by following her twitter feed also her and journalist afshin are tons of believe this on breast was a long time coming and it isn't going to and anytime soon. and now twenty different countries terrible hear about the deaths of people sensibly over this ridiculous bill that has to wear diplomatic relations like the leaders of those countries will be telling washington if they indeed have relations with washington. and it seems like the chicken is going home to roost it's difficult to see how it could have been averted the people who make them feel he designed this to happen we don't have foreign a granny creating the grouted theater is in effect the arab world the global south

countries that have been devastated by centuries of colonialism one of those decades of the us imperialism and nobody can obama's policies in the past five years have been so. debilitating to so many millions of people it's not a case of activism as such it was a broad array of people that detest us imperialism and there we can expect more and more to follow and more catalysts whether it be a crazy film or a other one of the president obama or who knows president romney's crazy foreign policy ideas because. he will not be the only diplomat. presumably it will be targeted and it's not a good time now for u.s. diplomats around the world. ehlers more opinion on what's happening in the arab world online for you at our team dot com. the latest updates are live as they come in and there's a timeline of how the situation is developing. now look at this the acting director

of the anti muslim film is now under investigation for possible breach of probation by using an alias to publish the movie fifty five year old man's family has already served a prison term for financial crimes. washington as a ploy that's marines across the arab world to protect u.s. missions while the white house struggles to contain the fallout america's leadership has condemned the film and stressed it had nothing to do with it but as art is going to check out their reports the video is not the only reminds the protesters have against the u.s. . as angry mobs in muslim countries stormed u.s. embassies and burned american flags the u.s. president delivers yet another speech about how good america's intentions really are and have been in the muslim world america's

a friend that we care not just about our own country not just about our own interests but about theirs that even as voices of suspicion mistrust seek to divide countries and cultures from one another the united states of america will never retreat from the world. we will never stop working for the dignity and freedom that every person deserves it could be that the obama administration thinks by supporting revolutions by fostering regime change washington is winning the hearts and minds of the people in that part of the world but we sent events showed that's not quite so if you look at poll numbers that gauge public attitude towards the u.s. in different muslim countries u.s. approval rating is the same as it was under president george w. bush in some countries like pakistan it's much worse and these numbers have nothing to do with the infamous film but they do have something to do with us policies you know we can rap any kind of purple finger revolution we want people to have

democracy and have freedom but at the end of the day when we look at the results of what's been accomplished over two decades of being in this region destabilizing the region we have hundreds of millions of people who have it in a lot of cases had their world turned upside down and in many cases they've had relatives that have been killed in this process and we're building enemies towards this country and you know it i think that there's a need for a major wake up call in the west especially the united states the way the administration is trying to somehow contain the blowback over the same type of film is by bashing the film and saying that they to find it disgusting but now it's clear to pretty much everyone that it's not just about the film this rage against the united states has been brewing for a while and it seems it needed just us bark to blow up and the film tragically provided that spark need ministrations soothing words about democracy don't seem to help much in putting out the flame of rage now sweeping across the arab world in

washington i'm going to. get words from washington having little effect on the arab protests anti-war activists john recess there are actions the u.s. can take to show its goodwill and calm the situation down. i would say that there are a number of things that should be done immediately first of all the troops should be withdrawn from afghanistan immediately that would be a huge signal in the in the in the muslim world that america didn't intend to continue the neo conservative power and policy of the last ten years or so they could immediately withdraw the covert assistance which they are they are giving in the syrian in the syrian conflict they could immediately withdraw the sanctions on iran these would be very very serious six goals the rather than president obama ringing up president morsi and lecturing him for twenty minutes both all accounts about how his government needs to be more pro-american it would be better if he

dealt with the people in his own country that is producing this this kind of thing after all america has fought a war in two predominantly muslim countries in the last ten years three if you include it's important in the attack on libya now surely it should be a moment where a responsible leader of a country that has done that take some action when a film has produced of this kind which in those circumstances is bound to result in anger across the middle east.

russia's opposition is gearing up for its first big rallies after a summer all marches will take place all across the country the largest being in moscow and for the first time opposition groups will be joined by teachers and other public sector workers well let's now get more on this from a refinery. so we to tell us what is this particular protest against. well in addition to the staples off the opposition movement which is basically the calls to conduct extraordinary elections into the russian parliament and to as well and presidential elections as well this time around they have decided to add several us social issues to the roster for example they're dissatisfied with several of the laws which have been passed or currently being debated in the state duma which is russia's parliament one such show actually a law is looking into a loud for a private school for for privatizations of schools and hospitals a lot of people are saying that that will be the end of free education and free

health care in russia there's also the issue of trust for an agent said that is that the law which. which show says that all groups which are actively participating in the political lives of the country abut receive funding from abroad should be thoroughly financially investigated there's also of course the issue of pussy riot who have become sort of the poster girls for the opposition over the course of the summer while they were on trial of course a lot of people in the opposition are very unhappy with the prison sentence that the. three members of the punk rock collective have received it but there's also the issue of the state duma deputy who has just been evicted from the state duma a for overstepping his official powers by the opposition leaders say that is because he has been affiliated with them and that is why he is essentially being prosecuted me say by the government so there is really a plethora of issues but as many issues as there covering as if you are looking at

as many groups who will be participating in this rally and that is one of the main criticisms criticisms which the opposition has received over the course of several months a lot of people are saying that there is too many groups there is too many leaders and they do not have exact set goals for example this time around you will be looking at at a march which will feature everyone from the ultra nationalists to get lesbian rights supporters to even a christian youth group who actually will be walking against the march because they have called this whole affair a work of satan so a lot of different issues a lot of different groups all of them gathering in the center of moscow today abut the has spice it up probably to add more people to get the interest of more people into their groups began they will be for the first time around we will also be see the communist party members who will be making their debut to the opposition rally but without their leadership well as you just said there is quite

a variety of people to spending in the rallies today and speaking of numbers we saw see huge numbers of people last year in the streets protesting so what's the situation going to be like this year are they going to be able to repeat that. well that is one of the issues this is that is one of the things which everybody is interested to see of course they have said that there they have received they have received an allowance or so to speak from the city to conduct a march a with up to twenty five thousand people participating the organizers of the rally are saying that they already have that many. people of course they have been saying that for the past several rallies but they haven't been as numerous as the organizers have hoped for and that is one of the main issues that we're looking at right now whether or not the russian opposition will be able to bring out as many people as they have been bringing out at the end of last year or at the beginning of this year there's also a second issue because if the rallies in jus if the rally in june has actually gone down quite peacefully and

a lot of people were saying that that was the example of how opposition marches should be conducted in the country the one inmates were in violent. some publications that happening in the crowd but some people throwing rocks at the police and actually greeting people in the crowd as well and there were arrests made and there were several policemen who happened to who had to be hospitalized as a result so everybody leading the opposition and of course the authorities are hoping that there will be no such of violence this time that there will be no provocations the opposition is definitely not interested in. that we do have a police presence on the streets of course we will be having streets cordoned off in the center of the city so the protest will be full so it will be more convenient for the protesters to march seventh thousand police should be in the center and making sure that nothing out of ordinary not nothing stored in the way happens so we'll have to see how all of that develops throughout the day and of course we'll be bringing your life pictures as well right here on r.t.

ok arena thanks very much and as you said we'll be monitoring the situation crossing back to you for more updates on the rallies to response could today. and later this hour here in r.t. to tweet or not to tweet we ask the question. put those there for the general public so. that's going to be used against record you know be sure to said it was going to improve the lives of the folks after new york court orders the release of private tweets the resident wonders whether free speech is at stake on the web. britain has ordered financial watchdogs to investigate possible oil prices scandal traders and city speculators are accused of rigging markets to make sure prize drops aren't passed on to consumers as it is laura smith reports the costs are pushing up how much britain's pay for all their goods. the city is under fire again this time it's traders and speculators in for a grilling as the energy minister announces an investigation into breaking the

petrol price it's meant fulls in the oil price on posts on to consumers making petrol and diesel more expensive in real time than they've ever been pump prices are quick to fill when the oil price rises very slow to full when it goes down petrol price campaign is all cooling on they found guilty of breaking the price to go to prison the scandal follows a huge rise in the price at the pump it's gone up ten p. . to around one pound pulte elites and the high priced builds of doubt into the entire economy ninety percent of everything we have in our homes is delivered by low rate and with fuel prices so high school it's companies are full of to post that expense to consume is making literally everything food clothes domestic appliances more expensive it also impacts on labor mobility so how far people can

travel to get to work and whether they can get a new job that requires some distance to the fuel price can even impact on the unemployment rate which is hovering around eight percent at the moment once no claim is what the alternative is speculating on the one in the price is one of the consequences of free market capitalism which often results in corporations getting rich sometimes at the expense of ordinary people so imprison the perpetrates as they might but it's unlikely to change much what it will do is divert attention from the government's role sixty percent of the price consumers pay at the pump tax the highest in europe. now demand for rain in a while is on the rise despite e.u. bargain and american sanctions the international energy agency says tehran sold more of it screwed in august and in july when the restrictions came into force the measures are aimed at forcing iran to stop its nuclear program which to iran

maintains us for purely peaceful purposes despite this the country's resources are still in the band with turkey china and india currently the top importers the us treasury meanwhile says the sanctions are effective and have slashed iran's crew that sports in half compared to last year but. policy director at the national iranian american council says iran's nuclear program won't suffer anyway. i don't know that you could actually look at the lost revenues from oil exports and say iran has taken away money from its nuclear program or reduced money for military spending because frankly with the threat of war i think you're wrong is probably continuing down that path that has already already has been on which stations you know there's no perfect sanctions regime there's always going to be holes there's always going to be loopholes there's always going to be this game of whack a mole where you draw a response within the u.s. tries to ratchet up and you're never going to get a perfect embargo. so i think that the question the question is ok now you have

these sanctions what do we do with these are we going to leverage these or is this a repeat of what we had with iraq where we did a great job of restricting oil sales and then doing well for food but the end of the day that didn't actually yield anything but massive humanitarian suffer suffering and then eventually this movement for disasters invasion i'll take a look at some other stories from around the world and again a stand militants have attacked a nato base where britain's prince harry is currently stationed killing two u.s. marines and injuring several others the assault comes after the taliban threaten to kidnap and kill the prince while he's on duty in the country the militants were armed with rocket propelled grenades and assault rifles prince harry was not harmed in the attack. the duke and duchess of cambridge are suing a french magazine after it published topless pictures of kate middleton the pictures were taken while the couple were holiday at a private chateau in france legal proceedings have been launched in the country

over alleged breach of privacy well him and kate are currently on tour of southeast asia and the south pacific to mark the queen's diamond jubilee. twitter has agreed to hand over the deleted tweets of an occupy wall street protester who is among those charged for blocking the brooklyn bridge last year the social network was threatened with sanctions if it didn't give up around three months worth of activists records those tweets alleged. remind the protestors claims that the police intentionally push the crowds onto the bridge only to arrest them for obstructing traffic. court and say twitter is decision sets a precedent or authorities can now obtain information which was assumed to be private or as laurie harshness went to the streets of new york to find out if people feel less protected. a manhattan judge has ordered twitter to release the tweets of an occupy wall street protester and those tweets are expected to be used against him in

a criminal trial is that an invasion of his privacy and right free speech this week let's talk about that so let's say it was a terrorist saying ok let's go attack somebody what it was it was it was an american expressing his views. you know just trying to get his message out there ok some would call him a terrorist and if the person that you might think is a terrorist might feel like they're just expressing them their needs and what they're frustrated. i don't know if you always seem to be you know. giving you information that you haven't been revealed yet or broadcast yet so i appreciate we will hope it never stops because he's put out there for the general public so if locals it's going to be used against him in court you know he shouldn't set it you know he's going to incriminate himself that's his own fault that what you say under free speech search should still be subject to law yeah if i go on television and tell everybody how to avoid cops or to commit

a crime and get away with it and do it on television you know smile false i think the most interesting thing about twitter is if the internet is not journalism but writing is going to start to say more of a hold that it probably needs to be treated similar soon newspaper ads or other things that might be written in print media and so i'm not sure if twitter should give it up but if they want to start to grow i think they might have to do what about that person's right to their own tweets and their privacy depends how serious the matter is i think yeah i think. that line do you trust the government to draw that line i don't know if you don't want to in the public you don't put it out on. public do you want people to use oh yeah it's kind of a canvas screaming out a window if you're posting it on the internet. so things like most people agree because social media is taking on a more important role in social justice change and counterculture the laws around

social media are going to have to evolve as well. while the worlds biggest conglomerates bring their business to the most secluded and often say four corners of the earth usually hurt much more than people's beliefs have done to group promised an ancient indian tribe prosperity and a technological leap into the future as artists are now reports it turned out to be a waltz and sheep's clothing. it's one of the most serene and sacred places in india me i'm gary hills home to the dong khan tried it for years thousands of tribal people here have been relocated by a london based conglomerate the vedanta group it wanted to mine into mountains considered sacred to extract the aluminum or box a for use and its refineries specially built nearby but the social and environmental costs have been high.

income sources people for three hundred fifty villages have been destroyed so what will these people do they depend on the land and forest for their lives and leave leave their land is their mother father gone but we have a deep respect for their land but for now the indian government has carried out saying the group has violated forest conservation and environmental protection laws that's it. while some say india could stimulate its economy by accessing its natural resources the people in this community believe that their land is sacred and they're not going to let any foreign corporations come in and destroy it praful my haji says that vedanta took two acres of his land promised him compensation but that he never received anything and it's not just his community his environment that has been destroyed he says that the actions of the company have damaged the wellbeing of local people so there's been an increase in pollution which has led to

many health issues. and. problems vedanta did not respond to our requests for comment but has said in the past that it believes it can make significant contributions to the people of the area and bring development to the region critics however say that hasn't happened. most of the local people that we've spoken to feel that they've had promises made by the company that have just been broken and that they not only have they not received development from the company but fundamentally they do not want development in the company all they want is to be allowed to live their lives in peace the confrontation has received attention from high profile figures like movie director james cameron who compared the dispute to a real life avatar vedanta are trying to appeal the decision by the indian government in a bid to allow them to continue their work but for now local people are celebrating

their victory in preserving their ancestral lands. development and he will not we want to live the way we did. and came here and it seems like they might have the chance to do just that the john grier can say they'll fight for what's theirs no matter who they're up against preassure either party or india. well the way to cause a report exposes dirty dealings in the world of global banking and that's after they had lines in just a few minutes. mission
